I have had a half decent month so far, I will probably jinx the rest of March. I put some time aside and managed to get my Disco through the mot, I brought this land rover in May last year, normally I put any cars I buy straight through an mot to see what I’ve… Continue reading Turn out your left pocket

They’re skin and craters like the moon
2021 So we begin another year, a year which started out with such promise, I mean, nothing could be worse than 2020 could it? Within a couple of weeks we were headlong into an undeterminable lockdown, there are a lot of naysayers who believe this is all made up and part of some dark plan… Continue reading They’re skin and craters like the moon
The man who can make a sentence out of swearwords
The Corona madness took another turn today. Lesley is working Christmas and Boxing Day nights and because the relaxation planned to end on midnight of the 27th, we had planned to have our Christmas lunch and celebrate Lesley’s birthday on the 27th with the kids. As of midnight tonight London and the south east are… Continue reading The man who can make a sentence out of swearwords
Come again
I took a trip to Inkpen beacon and Coombe Gibbet on Sunday with my daughter. She hasn’t been before and I had worked out a circular 10 mile route with some good climbs on it. We set out early as it takes around two hours door to door. As we went farther west it seemed… Continue reading Come again
Forward, never Backwards
We have now started lockdown 2, which compared to the last one should be called lockdown light. I am now working for another bus manufacturer which is considerably different to the last company I worked for. There doesn’t seem to be the secrecy that prevailed with Wrights, even after the company was taken over the… Continue reading Forward, never Backwards

I won’t be sorry to see the back of 2020, I’m sure I’m not alone. Things are returning back to normal(ish). I’m not entirely happy with this, I have enjoyed the peace and quiet, being able to hear the birds singing and empty streets. All the numpties seem to be out and about and I… Continue reading Chris
How about that thing eh?
It’s been a while but I thought with everything going on at the moment and the crushing boredom and frustration I’d release some steam. The whole Covid-19 thing really has caught us all out. Although considered an essential worker I have managed to stay virus free (touching wood). I am on the very fringe of… Continue reading How about that thing eh?
Never say Never
Work It has now been over three months since Wrights collapsed. I have been working for an engineering company who were kind enough to offer me a lifeline and give me a job. It was a mutual arrangement as I brought a couple of revenue streams along which weren’t there before, and also got the… Continue reading Never say Never
Come live with me
Wrightbus On the 25th September Wrightbus finally went into administration. As usual the media were well in front any info coming from the company. I found out the night before from one of my contacts inside the factory, that the company would be going into administration in the morning. I was told to gather my… Continue reading Come live with me
Under your thumb forever
Wrightbus We had a call on Friday updating us on the current situation, which hasn’t told us much more than we already know. We are expecting it to reach a conclusion in the next week or so. I’m not sure what Wrights will look like after this is over, I have my own views. I’ll… Continue reading Under your thumb forever
